♦MARIGOLD SWISS BEAUTY—eocbx(3-4)30. Here is the 
Marigold that excited so much favorable comment from 
visitors at our Old Orchard Seed Gardens last summer. 
Even those who “did not like Marigolds” liked this. It is 
a Swiss selection of the French Type, tall and branching 
in habit, beginning its blooming early, and stopping only 
with winter. The blossoms are mostly double, a velvet 
brown that is not only rich, but, strange as it may seem 
for a brown to be so-called, really vivid, this laid on over 
golden orange, in great stripes and splashes as though by a 
painter’s brush. Pkt. 20c. #

MECONOPSIS or BLUE POPPY 
The Blue Poppies are not the easiest flowers in the 
world to grow, but in the race for most beautiful, they 
would rank so high in their color group that a bit of 
fussiness in starting them, is quite excusable. Autumn 
sowing is best for them, or refrigerator treatment if sown 
in spring. We think of Meconopsis as blue, but it will be 
noted that there are other colors.

showers of splendid orange-anthered violet blossoms. Often 
there are thirty to forty of them open on a single plant. 
A noble species, discovered but a few years back, growing
